Thursday 28th January 2010

A Total of 27 players turned up for the Official PS3 Event to win up to an excellent 100 PES Points for use in the PES Store. It was nice to see RobMclean and gunnercesc return online after nearly 2 months away.

[Group Stage]

The players had been split into 7 groups with the top 2 in each group progressing to the knockout stage. All players could go any club team they wanted.

You can view the final group standings here: http://www.pesrankings.com/event/7650/tables/
